*Gathering Music Jesus Loves the Little Children
Greeting and Announcements
Centering Music and lighting of altar candles
*Responsive Intent
One: The child who marvels at the lightning bugs and twinkling stars; who collects rocks and leaves; who asks the question “Why?” again and again.
All: Let us come today with the wonder of that child.
One: The child who giggles in church; who dances with happy feet and sings loudly; who makes winter snow angels and summer sand castles.
All: Let us worship today with the joy of that child.
One: The child who shares their peanut butter and jelly sandwich; who cries when the dog is sick; who holds our hand when we’re sad; who prays for everyone they know.
All: Let us love today with the heart of that child.
*Let’s Sing Together! I’ve Got the Joy, Joy, Joy, Joy If You’re Happy and You Know It

Prayers of the People and Lord’s Prayer
Our Mother-Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name.
Thy kindom come. Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kindom, and the power, and the glory, forever.
Amen.
